As I grow in age, I value women who are over 40 most of all. Here are justa few reasons why:

A woman over 40 will not lay next to you in bed and ask,"What are youthinking?" She doesn't care what you think.

If a woman over 40 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sitaround whining about it. She does something she wants to do. And, it's usuallysomething more interesting.

A woman over 40 knows herself well enough to be assured in who sheis what she is, what she wants and from whom. Few women past the age of40 give a damn what you might think about her or what she's doing.

Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match withyou at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, ifyou deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you, if they think they can getaway with it.

Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know whatit's like to be unappreciated.

A woman over 40 has the self-assurance to introduce you to her womenfriends. A younger woman with a man will often ignore even her best friendbecause she doesn't trust the guy with other women. Women over 40 couldn'tcare less if you're attracted to her friends because she knows her friends won't betray her.

Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to awoman over 40. They always know.

A woman over 40 looks good wearing bright red lipstick. This is nottrue of younger women or drag queens.Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier thanher younger counterpart.

Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off ifyou are a jerk if you are acting like one! You don't ever have to wonderwhere you stand with her.

Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately,It's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed hot woman of40+, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool ofhimself with some 18-year-old waitress.

The comments in red are my thoughts or actual statements my "Baby" has made to me.(In case you can't tell, I'm hooked!)

If a woman over 40 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sitaround whining about it. She does something she wants to do. And, it's usuallysomething more interesting."I know you want to watch the game & we have to get home;(an hours drive) how about I tune it in on sirrus?"

Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match withyou at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, ifyou deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you, if they think they can getaway with it. "Honey, we'll discuss that later."

"Do you mind helping (fill in the blank) with the pledge drive Friday? I know it's just a bunch of my girlfriends, but I'll join you after work."

How true is this!

AMEN to that!

Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off ifyou are a jerk if you are acting like one! You don't ever have to wonderwhere you stand with her.

"Now, Was that nice?"

I agree with most of this.(I'm not bald & I don't wear yellow pants.) Besides, I'm all over "making a fool of myself with 18 year old waitress's." I've found my "Baby," more of a woman than I've ever known! (Who incidently is "39 & holding!")

Yes, I'm a very lucky(and grateflul) man.
